For me? Oh boy! (My first awards)

After being absent for a week or so, I happily logged on with an itch to write something, anything, one of the things filling up my thoughts; only to find in surprise that I had gotten my very first award! And not for the most inconsistent or all-over-the-place blogger like I expected would be the only title I could deserve at the moment.

Thank you to my friend at greenembers.wordpress.com for nominating me for the Liebster Award and the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I am honoured and will do my best to live up to it. Little did I know how long a process this post would have… but here we go!

As per requirement, here are 11 random facts about moi:
1. I love earmuffs almost as much as scarves.
2. I set my alarm at least a half an hour early in the morning so I can press sleep a couple of times.
3. I buy $100 pointe shoes that last about a week because I love dancing.
4. My parents let me buy the above because they love me.
5. I enjoy car naps.
6. Some of my favourite things to watch are Planet Earth, The Big Bang Theory, Nostalgia Critic, The nature of Things, Dragon’s Den, and Arthur.
7. I own an Acer Aspire One notebook laptop.
8. They say don’t judge a book by its cover but sometimes I do.
9. HARRY POTTER not Twilight.
10. I think it’s funny that people so love to talk about themselves as to make this a rule to receive this award.

And these are my answers to the questions that have been bestowed unto me:
1. What is the best way to spend one dollar (or currency equivalent)?
A forgotten gem at a used book sale.
2. What is your biggest pet peeve?
The sound of velcro hooks being ripped from the loops. Oh, and people reading over my shoulder.
3. What is your happy thought that makes you fly?
I am alive with a fully functioning body.
4. Who is your favorite Doctor?
Doctor Who? I don’t know, maybe my orthodontist.
5. If you could be one super hero, who would you be and why?
Superman because he can fly.
6. The question is this: Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite… would you like a toasted teacake?
Of course, who has time to ponder about such things when there are teacakes?
7. What is your quest?
To figure out who I am. And save the world from global warming.
8. What is your favorite color?
All colours! If you must, green.
9. What… is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Faster than a laden swallow.
10. What is your favorite sport?
Ballet. If I wasn’t a dancer, probably swimming. Or basketball.

Hmm… my parents because they moved to a whole new continent on the opposite side of the globe for their family’s future.
